Ultimate Universal Piece Sword & Weapon Tier List 2023

Are you on a quest to find the best sword in Universal Piece? Well, you’ve come to the right place. By evaluating each weapon based on damage, effectiveness of moves, range, and cooldown periods, I’ve compiled a comprehensive tier list that highlights the top contenders. My analysis utilizes a setup of 10,000 stats in Weapons with Armament Force disabled and no accessories. Here’s the definitive list of swords and weapons in Universal Piece, along with tips on how to acquire them.

All Swords and Weapons in Universal Piece Ranked

Many players think the best sword is the Monarch Daggers, but some mid-to-late game options may surprise you. Below, I’ll break down each sword’s performance based on a 10,000 Weapons stat, excluding Haki or accessories. While Monarch Daggers could easily fit into an SSS-Tier due to their clear advantages over Flash Katana and Dual Sword, they remain classified in S for now. A-Tier is particularly special—more on that later. Beginners should take note of B-Tier options, while C and D-Tier weapons should be avoided or replaced quickly.

S-Tier Swords/Weapons

Weapon	Ranking Reason & Notes	How to Get
Monarch Daggers	• The optimal sword in Universal Piece, outdamages Flash Katana and Dual Sword significantly. • Excellent balance between high DPS, burst damage, mobility, and cooldowns. • Ideal for both PVE farming and PVP due to expansive area damage. • Z move features an Air Variant; X move is the highest damage dealer in the game.	0.85% drop rate from System Breaker Boss at Solo Island; 3% drop rate from Red Knight Boss.
Flash Katana	• Comparable in DPS to Dual Sword, sharing the second-best ranking. • Higher damage but slower cooldowns, while Dual Sword offers quicker bursts. • X move on Flash Katana delivers impressive damage. • The grind might not be worth it; consider Monarch Dagger or Dual Sword instead.	Talk to the Flash Master NPC on Solo Island after accumulating 10,000,000 Bounty.
Dual Sword	• Similar to Flash Katana; offers efficient low cooldowns and solid overall damage for sustained PVE engagements. • Provides excellent range.	4% drop rate from Dual Sword Master Boss at Solo Island.

A-Tier Swords/Weapons

Weapon	Ranking Reason & Notes	How to Get
Inverted Spear of Heaven	• Features great cooldowns and decent damage, albeit limited range. • Not optimal for farming, but effective against certain bosses and in PVP if you can connect hits. • This weapon requires skill to maximize its potential.	Defeat a player with a Skull Mark in PVP. Skull Marks show up on players who obtain a Chicken drop through Fishing or as a 3.5% drop from the Curse King.

B-Tier Swords/Weapons

Weapon	Ranking Reason & Notes	How to Get
Dark Blade	• A questionable investment if purchasing with Robux. • Offers decent damage but falls into the mid-tier category overall. • Could benefit from a buff.	Buy using Robux in the Shop.
Smoke Pole	• Surprisingly powerful weapon for its early acquisition. • Excellent for beginners, outdamaging many Fruits. • Ideal for PVE grinding until higher-tier weapons are acquired. • Offers solid AOE damage and impressive range.	Purchase from the Retired Admiral NPC for 75x Burgers, 150 Gems, and approximately €4.15.
Bisento	• Offers better damage compared to Smoke Pole, but is acquired later in the game. • Requires buffs in both damage and range to become worthwhile.	Buy from the Bisento Seller NPC for 15x Joysticks, 20,000 Gems, and approximately €126.40 at Solo Island.

C-Tier Swords/Weapons

Weapon	Ranking Reason & Notes	How to Get
Pipe	• Smoke Pole outperforms it in every aspect, making Pipe unnecessary. • Features decent cooldowns but suffers from low damage output.	Purchased from the Pipe Seller NPC for 30x Burgers, 150 Gems, and approximately €4.15 at Burger Island.
Soulcane	• Damage output is very low, but it can freeze, making it useful for PVP scenarios. • Offers decent cooldowns.	Acquired from the Good Zombie NPC for 10x Bones, 1x Skeleton Head, and 400 Gems at Zombie Island.

D-Tier Swords/Weapons

Weapon	Ranking Reason & Notes	How to Get
Dual Katana	• Lacks effective moves and inflicts poor damage. • Useless in both PVP and PVE settings. • This weapon requires buffs to become viable.	Buy from Bone Collector NPC for 15x Bones, 200 Gems, and approximately €6.35 at Zombie Island.
Katana	• A starting weapon perfect for early PVE grinding. • Features a decent X move until a better weapon is obtained. • Overall, not recommended for further use.	Acquired from the Katana Master NPC for 20x Ice Cream and approximately €42.45 at Starter Island.
